Painting Techniques

Painting techniques refer to the various methods and styles artists use to apply paint to a surface. Common techniques include *brushwork*, where different brush strokes create texture and form; *glazing*, where thin layers of transparent paint build depth; and *impasto*, where thick paint is applied for a three-dimensional effect. *Wash* techniques involve diluting paint for a soft, watery look, while *stencil* and *spraying* offer precision. Each technique contributes to the overall mood, style, and detail of the artwork, allowing artists to express their creativity and vision.
